Listen Script

Dataforce · Post by **Dataforce** » Fri May 16, 2003 2:09 pm

I'm using the eggdrop listen, to create a basic http server on eggdrop to send and recieve info from the bot.

so i've got the listen etc, it all works, but when a web page sends a "POST" to the eggdrop, the blank line makes eggdrop drop the conenction and not recieve the actual posted info.

I posted about this over on the development lists a while back.

There reply was that blank lines, are dropped, and not the connection.

Aditionaly, try using Tcl sockets.

how do socket listens work? and do they have a control proc like listen script ?

They have much more control.

See the following commands.

socket
fconfigure
puts
gets
read
eof
close
flush

On THIS TCL MANUAL

(just about to read manual)

hmm, i can't find out how to open a socet and listen.

How would i open a listen socket, then send/recieve information ?

Have you bothered t read about the list of commands I gave?

Use the "socket" command with the -server option.

As for controling proc, see the "fileevent" command (not posted in my list, sorry)
